24. What is being talked about?
Many suggestions have been made about the origin of this -
one of the commonest being that it derives from the figure 8,
representing the Spanish 'piece of eight'. However, it actually
comes from a handwritten 'ps', an abbreviation for 'peso' in
old Spanish-American books. It first occurred in the 1770s, in
manuscript documents of English-Americans who had
business dealings with Spanish-Americans, and it starts to
appear in print after 1800.

30. Identify X
Most of the forms of name of this come from the ancient
Sanskrit “naga ranga”, which literally means "fatal indigestion
for elephants" . There was an ancient Malay fable--which
made its way into the Sanskrit tongue around the Seventh or
Eighth Centuries B.C.--that links X to the sin of gluttony and
has an elephant as the culprit. It is claimed that the word X
has no true rhyme. There are, however, several half rhymes or
near-rhymes, as well as some proper nouns and compound
words or phrases that rhyme with it. This lack of rhymes has
inspired many humorous poems and songs.

aspect of Devi, she is the first consort of Shiva, the second
being Parvati, the reincarnation of her. When Shiva married
her, her father was angry and they had a heated discussion
about qualities of her husband. She realized that she was the
cause of abuse to her husband and hence she immolated
herself using her yogic powers. Shiva was angry with this
catastrophe and therefore he performed Tandav with the
charred body of her on his shoulders. During the dance her
body got dismembered and its pieces fell over 51 places
which are now called Shaktipeethas. What was her name?
